in this paper, the temperature dependence of some characteristics of cylindrical gate-all-around si nanowire field effect transistor (gaa-si-nwfet) is investigated to representing the temperature nano-sensor structures and improving their performance. firstly, we calculate the temperature sensitivity of drain-source current versus the gate-source voltage of gaa-si-nwfet to propose the temperatu...

this study aimed to identify the relationship between fractional exhaled nitric oxide (feno) level and potential factors in non-asthmatic children from shanghai, china. from march to april 2012, the school-aged children fulfilling the inclusion criteria were recruited. the feno levels of non-asthmatic children were detected by the nano coulomb nitric oxide analyzer. questionnaires were recorded...

introduction: accumulating evidences indicated that during increasing of the animals' age, the number and the functional properties of hematopoietic stem cells (hscs) become altered because of a gradual decrease in replication potential.  the efficient factors in this process are dna damaging, reduced telomerase activity, shortening of telomeres and oxidative stresses. for overcoming these fact...

objective(s): an increase in nitric oxide (no) production has been reported in cirrhotic cardiomyopathy and, portal hypertension. since minocycline has been shown to inhibit no overproduction, we aimed to examine its role in a rat model of ccl4-induced cirrhotic cardiovascular complications. materials and methods: portal pressure and inotropic responsiveness of isolated papillary muscles to iso...

objective(s) the liver has major role in the organism homeostasis, interactions with other systems, synthesis and metabolism of bile production, drug detoxification and hormone inactivation. cholestasis can be defined as an impairment of the bile flow which can lead to hepatocytes necrosis and finally cirrhosis. some studies reported a gastric acid secretion reduction in cirrhotic subjects, whi...

objective(s) previous studies have demonstrated that the nitric oxide (no) dependent death of murine peritoneal macrophages activated in vitro with ifn-g and lps is mediated through apoptosis. in the present study, we investigated the synergistic effect of lps, ifn-g and iron on no production and apoptosis. materials and methods after determination of iron cytotoxicity, the peritoneal macrophag...

objective(s): nitric oxide (no), a product of inducible nitric oxide synthase (inos), contributes in germ cell apoptosis. this study was aimed to evaluate the effects of aloe vera gel (avg) on male wistar rat reproductive organ, serum no level, and expression of inos gene in leydig cells. materials and methods:adult male wistar rats (n=36) were used for experiments in three groups. the experime...

introduction: there are evidences showing the role of nitric oxide in the opiate reward properties. the role of nitric oxide signaling pathway as an intracellular mechanism on augmentation of long term potentiation in hippocampal ca1 area of rats is also confirmed. it has been also reported that oral morphine dependence facilitates formation of spatial learning and memory via activation of nmda...

angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) inhibitors including quinapril could exert a protective effect on cardiovascular system through endothelial system in normoglycemic and diabetic rats. the present experimental work was designed to study the vascular reactivity of aortic ring segments isolated from streptozotocin (stz)-diabetic rats treated for 4 weeks with nitro-l-arginine-methyl ester (l-nam...
